Base station problems

I'm having problems reestablishing my wireless network. I'm
trying to install the base station(MN500 on Windows 98) but
I keep getting an error message saying that it's having
trouble configuring it. It tells me to reset the base
station to the factory specs but by the time it goes
through this procedure the server drops the internet
connection. Then when it tries to detect the internet
connection of course it can't.

I've tried all the recommended fixes of unplugging base
stations, modems etc but nothing works.I've also checked
the terminal connections and made sure security software
was disabled. I had the network working for months but when
I moved my system to another room I lost my DSL connection
and had to reinstall the software. Now I can't get the
wireless connection back.

I'd appeciate any suggestions anyone has. Thanks
